Discover The Potential of Critically Acclaimed Grand–Cru White Burgundy, Blanc de Blancs Champagne, and Award-Winning Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Available Now In 2018 Vintage Le Réve Release
Carlton, OR (September 8, 2020) –Ultra-luxury producers, 00 Wines “Double Zero” release its 2018 vintage themed Le Réve, the Dream. With the vintage release, collectors have early, though limited, ability to obtain an allocation of the wines available to club members and enthusiasts alike.
Family-owned and operated in the Willamette Valley, and in partnership with their international team in France, 00 Wines produced approximately 1,500 cases of its 2018 vintage, blending bi-continental winemaking talents in pursuit of excellence. With Willamette Valley’s longer, more consistent growing season than previous vintages and few days exceeding 90 degrees, the 2018 wines express a purity of place, balanced fruit and acidity, and a lushness that provides a generous drinking experience now, and with future aging potential.
00 Wines continues to acquire accolades for their 2017 vintage release from world-renowned critics. Due to the winery’s status among the word’s top burgundy collectors, limited access to the flagship VGW Chardonnay, EGW Chardonnay, and VGR Pinot Noir remains available to club members. For serious enthusiasts, the 2018 release is an opportunity to enjoy true mastery while allocation exists. 00 Wines’ proprietor Chris Hermann explains, “2018 was the first vintage produced with new winemaker, Wynne Peterson-Nedry. Her experience growing up and making wine in the Willamette Valley, combined with Pierre Millemann’s old world influence, has come together to create magic in a bottle.”
Notably in the 2018 release, 00 Wines expands on its two-year program with the production of the Freya Hermann Cuvée allowing two years of age in 500L oak barrel. Additionally, the single vineyard Kathryn Hermann Cuvée makes a debut after 23-months of aging in barrel, inspired by proprietor Kathryn Hermann and her favorite vineyard, Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, from which it is made.
The following Willamette Valley wines are available for a limited time, and while allocation is available:
- 2018 VGW “Very Good White” Chardonnay
